Discraft
SKU: DG-DC-NDLE-ESP-FLA (REF2843-1)
Description
The Discraft ESP Flash distance driver is Nate Doss's fast, workable classic driver, molded in ESP plastic. It's built for longtime fans and new players who want a piece of Discraft history, and it's at its best on fast, workable drives. This listing is the Nate Doss Limited Edition release of the Flash.
ESP Plastic
ESP is Discraft's premier opaque, swirled plastic. It balances a gummy-yet-firm, tacky grip with high durability, which makes it a favorite for all-around everyday play. Your Flash in ESP will hold its flight well over time while giving you more grip than Discraft's harder Z plastic.
The Mold
The Flash returns after Nate Doss challenged Discraft to recreate the feel and flight of the original run. It's fast, workable, and packed with nostalgia, and it's one of Nate's all-time favorites.
Stability
The Flash is stable. Stable discs fly straight for most of their flight and finish with a dependable fade. For right-hand backhand (RHBH) throwers, it flies straight with a reliable fade to the left at the end. Left-hand backhand (LHBH) throwers will see the mirror image, with the fade finishing to the right. Forehand flights flip that pattern: right-hand forehand (RHFH) follows the LHBH line and left-hand forehand (LHFH) follows the RHBH line. It suits players of every skill level who want a predictable flight.
Flight Numbers
| Rating | Value | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 10 | Distance-driver speed that needs good arm speed to fly as rated. |
| Glide | 5 | Lots of glide to help it stay in the air and add distance. |
| Turn | -2 | Noticeable turn to the right (RHBH) at speed, great for turnovers and hyzer-flips. |
| Fade | 3 | A strong, reliable fade to the left (RHBH) at the end of the flight. |

FAQ
Is the Discraft Flash good for beginners?
Yes. The Flash's predictable flight makes it easy to trust as you learn.
Is the Discraft Flash overstable?
Not really. The Flash is stable, rated 10/5/-2/3, so it flies straight with a dependable fade rather than the hard hook of an overstable disc.
What's the difference between ESP and Z plastic?
ESP is opaque and swirled with a gummy-yet-firm, tacky grip. Z is harder, translucent, and glossy, with maximum durability that holds its original flight for years.
Does the Nate Doss Limited Edition Flash fly differently than the standard Flash?
No. The Nate Doss Limited Edition release uses the same Flash mold and is rated 10/5/-2/3, just like the standard Flash. What's different is the stamp and edition, so you get the same flight with a collectible look. Plastic can still change the feel and grip slightly.
What disc is similar to the Discraft Flash?
The Discraft Undertaker (9/5/-1/2) is a slightly slower driver with a similar turn-then-fade flight.
How far does the Discraft Flash fly?
With an average arm, expect roughly 360 feet. Distance depends heavily on your power and form, so stronger throwers will go farther and newer players shorter.
